Sharks, rays, & skates have inhabited our oceans for 400 million+ years, but now about 1/4th of their species are threatened with extinction. The Sustainable Shark Fisheries and Trade Act could save them – that's where you come in. Make your voice heard: https://t.co/KILxSvyDHu

Current Dept. of the Interior plan would auction off parcels in 98% of U.S. Outer Continental Shelf to offshore oil & gas development, placing whales, sea turtles, & other species at grave risk. Tell the Administration: our seas are not for sale. https://t.co/4bV0tSnQ7d
